  1. A \(45 \%\)
  2. B \(35 \%\)
  3. C \(60 \%\)
  4. D \(50 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(60 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When Celsius - Fahrenheit scale coincide, \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{F}-32}{180}=\frac{\mathrm{C}-0}{100} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{~T}_1-32}{9}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{5} \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{~T}_1=-40^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \end{aligned}\) When kelvin - Fahrenheit scale…
